This unit and most of Frigidaire's Air Conditioners are junk. We bought one at Lowe's and said, "Wow what a Deal". Brought it home and put it in the window. It started up, and then the compressor kicked in after 3 minutes. So far so good. Then the 20 Amp circuit it is on blows. We reset and restarted. Now the compressor does not start. We try it in another 20 Amp circuit. Same thing, my little Lasko fan was better than this. Tried everything stated on forums and in manual. Nothing. Seems like it was the compressor that shorted out. Brought it back to Lowes. At the return counter there is 7 other Frigidaire Air Conditioners, all brought in on the same day according to the lady at the counter. She rolled her eyes and as if to say, "Oh no another Frigidaire". Gave us our money back no questions. Went to PC Richards, and bought a Friedrich for a bit more, but cools very nicely.

THIS PIECE OF (BLANK) COULDNT COOL A PHONE BOOTH! STRAIGHT JUNK! THE COLDEST TEMPATURE FEELS LIKE MY OLD AC ON LOW FAN, YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF USING AN CHURCH FAN AND FAN YOURSELF WITH YOUR HAND I STAND RIGHT IN FRONT OF THIS CRAP AND STILL NO COOL AIR. BUY A REAL AC OR GET A FAN FOR (...) ANYTHING BEATS THIS JUNK!!!!
HOT AND DISGUSTED

I have a 410 sq. ft. studio apartment. Although the AC is a bit noisy it easily handles the space. Even at 93 degrees, I only had to put it on medium. As of June 9, 2009 I mostly keep it on low with the thermostat at 75%. However the supplied filter is almost transparent and does not baffle the sound at all, So I moved the unit to a window as far from the TV as I could and bought, cut to size AC filter from Home Depot and laid it over top of the existing filter. It dropped the noise about 20%. For how well it works and as inexpensive as it is, a little noise is not so bad. After awhile you don't even think about it. It accually helps me sleep at night. If you want quiet out of the box. Spend double the money.

This air conditioner is good for cooling a small to medium size room.I got on sale locally for 139.95,including installation...The unit on low cool sounds like a hair dryer,and its hard to carry out a conversation on anything but low cool.The side panels are very flimsey...Internal insulation is like cardboard...For about 5 bucks more frigidare could have made this model quiter,but being made in china on the cheap,their corperate profits are more important than quality...To my fellow reviewers,you may have received a ship damaged unit.I wouldnt pay more than 129.99, for this unit..As noted by a fellow reviewer,in the electronic control version.."This Unit Should Come With Free Air Plugs" Thank You from Stewart L.
